Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox writer
Corey Stevenson Powell (born January 7, 1966) is an American science writer and journalist, particularly known for his writing for Discover magazine, of which he became Editor-in-Chief in 2012, and his longstanding collaboration with Bill Nye. Powell co-authored three books with Nye, and as of 2019 co-hosted a podcast with Nye as well.
Early life, education
Powell graduated from Harvard University with a degree in history and science, with his senior thesis, published in 1988, being on "J. Homer Lane and the Internal Structure of the Sun."[1] Powell became a writer for Discover and in 2002 published his first book, God in the Equation : How Einstein Transformed Religion. Powell contended therein that traditional forms of religion are giving way to a new cultural fusion of science and mysticism, which Powell called sci/religion. Powell felt that this was brought about to a great degree by Albert Einstein's own embrace of the deistic elements of Spinozism.[2][3] Reviews were somewhat mixed, with reviewers finding Powell to have strained too hard to find a religious theme in modern science.[2][3]
Editor and author
Powell was a member of the editorial board of Scientific American, and became the Editor-in-Chief of Discover in 2012.[4] He has additionally been a SHERP visiting scholar at New York University.[5] In 2014, Powell notably disputed the account written by astrophysicist Steven Soter in the segment of Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey addressing the story of Giordano Bruno, the dispute described as follows:
Powell has co-authored three books with Bill Nye:[6]

- Unstoppable: Harnessing Science to Change the World (Nov 10, 2015) Шаблон:Isbn
- Undeniable: Evolution and the Science of Creation (Nov 4, 2014) Шаблон:Isbn
Beginning in 2019, Powell co-hosted Nye's podcast,[7] of which Nye commented that Powell was "very well read about the news of science, and he offers charming commentary".[6]
Personal life
Powell is married with two daughters, and lives in Brooklyn.[8]
